"Made In Germany."

Apparently one ot the chief results of the idiotic “made in Germany” act is to render importers of foregin goods specially anxious to pass themselves off as British manufacturers, says Loudon Truth. Here is a good example: The label round a matchbox extensively sold in London and the provinces bears a sort of trademark in the shape of a sailor’s head, with the legend “ England’s heroes” and the following inscription in red and black letters: “Manufactured by Martin Harris & Co., Ltd., Stratford, London, E. “Support English Workpeople only by using English made matches. ” This covers three sides of the box. The fourth is covered by a piece of sanded paper to strike the matches on. Remove this paper and you find underneath the further and still more interesting notification, “Printed in Germany. ”
